About Our Curriculum
Each of these areas of focus is given attention throughout the day:
Language - Immersing the child in a rich language environment
promotes interest in written and oral communication.
Literacy - Through exposure to various types of literature and
writing experiences the child becomes connected to the written
word and realizes its importance in sharing ideas.
Mathematics - Incorporating math in the classroom develops
critical thinking skills and helps the child make connections to
the world around him or her.
Social/Emotional - A well balanced program will promote
responsibility and positive attitudes through a sense of
belonging to a community.
Science/Exploration - Science is an active process
encouraging the student to engage in hands-on activity.
Science has many practical connections to experiences in the
child's world.
Creative Arts (Music/Movement and Visual Arts)
Encouraging self-expression through creative arts allows and
encourages the child to communicate in a way that reflects his
or her own learning style.
Physical Health/Safety - Gross motor activity increases the
child's confidence moving his or her body through space while
improving strength, balance, coordination and body-control
skills. Overall healthful living and safety habits are encouraged

Come Meet Miss Lauren & her staff
Set up an appointment to come and meet our Director, Lauren Sposato. Lauren is a gifted pre-school teacher
and a wonderful, caring person. We are blessed to have her. She received her undergraduate degree from
Iona College. She went on to receive her Master’s degree in education and was recognized as a Rhode Island
Highly Qualified teacher. She began her teaching career at a private school in New York.
In 2009 Lauren joined the staff of Central Nursery School. She quickly showed herself to be an asset to the
leadership team. Ten years ago she began working on a new curriculum that is now used in the classroom
and has received accolades from the parents for its ability to prepare their children for kindergarten. In 2012 Lauren became the lead teacher and Director. Her approach to early childhood education has
been through hands-on exploration and authentic experiences both in and out of the classroom. Her nurturing
and caring approach to instruction provides a safe and loving environment for children to develop and grow.
The goals of the school are to promote motor development, personal independence and self-confidence,
cooperation with others, and an awareness of God. The school partners with the family and volunteers from
the church and community to achieve its goals. During the coming year we look forward to bringing more enrichment and enhancement activities to the classroom such as a touch tank experience from Mystic Aquarium, a music and movement program, a nocturnal animal visit from Denison Pequot Nature center and more.
2024-2025 is going to be a great year and we'd love to have your child join us.
